After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Chapter 45 Compensation
Not long after, Li Zheng sent someone to ask Jiang Sanlang to go to the Xiangtang for questioning.

Jiang Dalang went with his third brother, leaving his second brother to take care of Yingbao and Dalu.

The Xiangtang is where Lizheng and the township leaders work. Today, Lizheng will interrogate the perpetrators here.

It was getting dark at this moment, and the lanterns were hung high in the courtyard of the Xiangtang, and several torches were placed around, illuminating the entire courtyard.

There were quite a few people squatting by the courtyard wall, and they were all the heads of the joint insurance households of the three offenders. There were 30 people.

Some household heads were too old, so their sons were punished instead, and each received [-] boards.

Due to the limited number of villagers, everyone has to line up to play the board.

For a while, the yard was filled with the sound of crackling planks hitting flesh, and the sound of ouch.

With the support of his eldest brother, Jiang Sanlang walked into the main hall, and met Li Zheng with his hands clasped.

Li Zheng asked him to tell the whole story of the incident, and also asked a document to record it in court, and then checked it with the confessions of the three robbers.

After confirming that it was correct, Sun Lizheng ordered the three offenders to pay Jiang Sanlang 15 taels of wound medicine.The 15 taels of silver must be delivered within a limited time, otherwise they will be severely punished.

Tu Da was straightforward, and immediately asked his family to send five taels of silver, and held it in front of Jiang Sanlang himself, "It's all because the old man has no way to teach his children, so I ask Jiang Langjun to forgive me."

Jiang Sanlang took the money with a blank expression, and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter whether I forgive or not, the public will make a decision."

Anyway, he won't forgive these people, and he will have to pay the price if he dares to lay hands on his father and daughter.

The remaining twelve taels were left by Chen Shisan and Chen Lv'er's family.

But Chen Sansan's family was desolate, and his mother-in-law was still pregnant, so she couldn't afford a penny.

Sun Lizheng asked the ten households of his family's joint insurance company to contribute the money together, and whoever dares to fail to pay after the deadline will have to come over and be punished until the payment is paid.

Chen Ergou, who was squatting at the door, saw that it was okay, so he changed his mind.

He also claimed that the family had no money and could not even give a penny.

Sun Lizheng sneered, slapped the table and said, "Okay, let the ten households in your joint insurance company pay together."

When the ten households heard this, they hated Chen Ergou so much that they all gritted their teeth secretly, and they would definitely not let his family have a better life in the future.

Among these ten households was Chen Changping's father, Chen Laoshuan.

Chen Laoshuan is also 50 years old this year. He took off his trousers and put him on the bench and beat him twenty boards in public.

Can not go out and not work.

So he asked the youngest son to go home to get the money and hand it over to Sun Lizheng.

After being punished and fined, Sun Lizheng let him go as a matter of course.

Chen Laoshuan was carried home by his youngest son Chen Changhai.

He scolded angrily along the way, scolding Sun Lizheng for being disrespectful to Cunzheng, and scolding Chen Ergou for not being a thing.

"Sure enough, it's not that the whole family doesn't come into the house. Look at what Chen Ergou gave birth to! He was a thief since he was a child, and now he is a robber. He is a good example for his father!"

Speaking of which, this Chen Ergou had some relatives with Chen Laoshuan, but he didn't expect him to be so shameless that he asked his family to pay for his family.

"It took eight lifetimes of bad luck for our family to co-insure with his family. Chang Hai, you can go to your cousin's house tomorrow and ask him to change the co-insurer for us." Chen Laoshuan snorted angrily.

Chen Changhai said unhappily: "Father, you can change it if you want, who dares to have anything to do with Chen Ergou's family now? I see, let uncle drive his family out of the village as soon as possible."

What a disaster for thousands of years, that Chen Ergou's father was a habitual thief, so old, he actually went to steal the chicken cooked in the neighbor's pot, and was caught on the spot.

Alas, it just so happens that my family is still insured by someone like him.

When Chen Laoshuan returned home, he lay down on the kang, and Chen Fengshi gave him medicine.

"Why don't you think Chen Lu'er can't think about it, and hang out with the street ruffian Chen Shisan, this is good, Chen Ergou finally gave birth to a son, and he will be sentenced before he keeps one, tsk tsk..."

While muttering, Chen Fengshi still didn't forget to complain: "Your cousin is too, how can someone beat you like this, you will not be able to get off the kang for several days."

Chen Laoshuan's cousin was Chen Changsheng, the village official of Xichen Village, and he was also the one who pushed them out of the joint insurance households.

For this reason, Chen Laoshuan was also very upset.

Don't talk about affection at all, and make him lose money and be ashamed, what kind of relative is this?
snort!When it's his turn to be the village official, he must let him taste what it means to be unkind.

...

During the garrison, Jiang Sanlang returned home with his daughter who had been sleeping all the time.

Chunniang hurried forward to pick up her daughter and put her on the kang.

"How are you? Is the injury serious?" Chun Niang patted her husband's head.

"Fortunately, it's okay." Jiang Sanlang took out a bag of silver money from his arms and handed it to his wife, "This is the compensation silver awarded to Bao'er and me by Lizheng, a total of 15 taels."

Chun Niang took it, put it aside, and asked: "How were those who harmed you sentenced? Shouldn't they be fined and released?"

"I haven't let it go. Li Zheng said that it will be sent to the county government early in the morning and will be punished by the government."

After all, Lizheng was not an official of the public office, so he did not have the right to judge criminals, but fines or beatings were still acceptable.

Chunniang felt relieved, collected the money, and asked:

"Have you eaten yet? I'm warming dinner in the pot, do you want some?"

"I've eaten it, the chicken porridge I ate at my eldest brother's house."

Jiang Sanlang said to his wife again: "Bao'er is not in good spirits today, Li Langzhong said that she might be frightened, so he prescribed a tranquilizer for her to drink.

Let Bao'er sleep with you tonight, you take care of some, I will go to Westinghouse. "

"Okay." Chun Niang picked up the oil lamp and led her husband to the west room, "Sit down first, and I'll bring you hot water."

Jiang Sanlang nodded, took off his shoes and sat on the edge of the kang, his head felt heavy and he wanted to sleep.

After a while, Chunniang brought him hot water to wash his face, and fetched a basin of footwashing water for her husband.

After Jiang Sanlang washed, he lay down and fell asleep.

Today he lost a lot of blood, his whole body was cold and his eyelids were trembling, and he might faint if he didn't sleep.

At this time, Chunniang brought another bowl of golden ear porridge and insisted that he drink it before going to sleep.

After covering her husband with a quilt, Chunniang returned to the east room, brought another basin of water to wipe her daughter's face and hands, and then fetched water to wash her feet.

Yingbao's eyelids moved slightly, and she was falling into a dream of her previous life.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when she came back from doing laundry by the river, she acted uncharacteristically towards her stern biological mother, Han Shi, and even invited her into the house, and brought out a gorgeous dress and a pair of foot bells for her to wear.

Yingbao took the skirt and shook it off, her expression darkened.

The fabric is thin, the skirt only reaches the calf, and there are long tassels on the waist. It is a dance skirt only worn by Hu Xuan dancers.

"Ying'er, there are distinguished guests at home today, haven't you learned Hu Xuanwu in Wuchunyuan, so let's demonstrate it to the guests."

Han called "Ying'er" on her lips, probably even she felt awkward, and the motherly smile she put on was also very fake.

"Whether your father can be an official depends on this distinguished guest, so you must perform well and don't offend the distinguished guest."

Ying Bao threw the skirt in her hand on the table, and sneered, "Why don't you let your second daughter go, I'm small and ugly, and I'm afraid I will spoil the eyes of the distinguished guests."

She had chilblains on her hands, feet and face, and if she wore such a thin dress in such a cold day, she would be scolded even if she walked on the street, let alone dancing for men.

What a demonstration, it's just trying to sell her again.

What kind of person has she never seen in Wuchun Courtyard these years?Fortunately, I had a good relationship with Sister Wen, and was young, so I was not pushed out by the head of the dance theater early.

Unexpectedly, her mother redeemed her to please the nobleman.
